(Excerpts from CDBaby)
"An eclectic mix of instrumental and vocal World Music featuring Grammy Award winning Ben Mink on violin, jazz great Pat Labarbera on saxophones, and Ghana's legendary vocalist Pat Thomas."
"Cuban Guitarist/Composer Ramon Taranco’s first CD is a true World Beat Fusion album with musicians from Argentina, Canada, Colombia, Cuba, Ghana, Holland, Jamaica, Portugal, South Africa and the USA. It is a balanced blend of instrumental and vocal songs using authentic ancient traditional instruments as well as electric guitars and keyboards. Recorded in Toronto, Canada and mixed by Grammy Award winning engineer Kevin Doyle, this CD received extensive radio air play all over Europe and North America, including Cuba, and was often featured on Iñaki Peña’s unique Trèbede, the highly popular and original strictly World Music radio show on Madrid’s Radio Nacional de España. The CD’s popularity led Ramon to concerts at such prestigious World Music events as the Guggenheim Museum’s World Beat Jazz Series.
The vocalists and instrumentalists are the crème de la crème of the Toronto music scene. Vocalists: Raul Galvez, Yohanna van der Kley, Cooly Koaho, Betty Richardson, Jackie Richardson, Ramon Taranco, Pat Thomas and Liz Tilden. On violin, Ben Mink; harmonica, Carlos del Junco; accordion, Jose Sousa; organ, Peter Nunn; saxophones, Pat Labarbera and Mark Promane; electric and acoustic guitars, Ramon Taranco; cello, Doug Innis; double bass, Kieran Overs; electric bass, Jeff Jones and John Yelland; drums and percussion, Memo Acevedo, Bob Becker, Steve Foster, Basi Mahlasela and Dick Smith.
Like all Ramon Taranco CDs, Music from the Bermuda Triangle cannot be categorized or described in words. Just listen."

The Adventures of Bo Segovia
Now available at itunes, cdbaby, & digstation
(Excerpt from CDBaby)
"Ride with Pancho Villa, dance the streets of Maximo Gomez, Cuba with Ramon Taranco and his Havana Blues Revue (various guest singers), the best in World Blues/Funk this side of the Rio Grande."
"Follow the musical journey that takes place as far north as St. George Street, Toronto and as far south as the streets of Máximo Gómez, Cuba and Nochistlan de Zacatecas, Mexico, then east to Brooklyn, New York and all the way west to the LA dreamlands. Tales of broken hearts and loving Elusive Babes. Listen to The Adventures of Bo Segovia; Bo Segovia, who, at age fifteen rides and fights with Pancho Villa during the Mexican Revolution, escapes into Texas, rides the rails to Chicago, and ends his odyssey in LA. Do you wanna Ghost Dance under Buffalo Skies? And when I'm feeling a kind of Isolation Blues, I'll pick up and play my guitar because the Blues Keep Thrillin' Me and the Spirit of Muddy Waters always keeps me searchin' and searchin' and searchin'.
Music and lyrics are composed by Bo's grandson, guitarist Ramon Taranco, the Cuban-born Mexican-American raised in Canada who now resides in New York City. Ramon and his Havana Blues Revue--in the tradition of the old big band and R&B revues where one band and band leader backs and features a variety of singers--take you on a magical ride.
The vocalists and instrumentalists are New York City’s crème de la crème. Vocalists: Denosh Bennett, Eddie Bobe, Craig Derry, Danny Frazier, Marchelle Jackson, Eunique Mack, Ramon Taranco and Lee Williams. On drums and percussion, Eddie Bobe, John Jenkins, Danny Sadownick and Ernesto Simpson; on harmonica, William Galison; on tenor sax and clarinet, Craig Handy; on organ, Greg Lewis and Danny Mixon; on violin, Samir Shukry; on electric bass, Essiet Okon Essiet, Buster Hemphill and Harvie S.; and on guitars, Ramon Taranco."
